Message:: [QUOTE="ErolGarip, post: 2826859, member: 88736"]Again, language... I'm not a linguist, but, as far as I know, Arabic (Semitic) is closer relative to English (Indo-Euro) than to Turkic (Altaic), according to linguists. So, if you smelled some Arabic in my words, you know it better than me as my native lang is a Turkic. As for understanding humor, I thought I did some humor in my post that you quoted, may be it was a little from another part of the universe, where maybe Ed too is in. Maybe, my humor was a little deep, how you say, referencing ancient Greeks or Nasreddin Hodja, was a little philosophical humor. If not well understood, it is due to my English. I tried my best to use the English correctly, but, it seems that English itself is not correct. Anyway, this is not a language forum, here is a "garipx" question on a linguistics forum, just started, about "how much money or how many money": <a href="https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/how-much-or-how-many-for-money.3356019/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/how-much-or-how-many-for-money.3356019/" rel="nofollow">https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/how-much-or-how-many-for-money.3356019/</a> Maybe, you too will learn your own language, about "money" and "1cent" which is the topic of this thread also as its only form is "coin".[/QUOTE]
